Is it absolutely necessary to be able to sight read? I can work out a score (can't "read" and play it) but with tabs I can read and play almost immediately. I prefer learning by direct observation of another guitarist. Apparently, according to many guidebooks I have seen recently, this is a really bad thing. Anyone out there know why sight reading is worth the effort? After all, traditional Flamenco guitarists didn't do it...

no, I think its great to read tabs. When you hear the original music you can learn it to play right. Without the original audio, its no good idea to learn a tab. Maybe only to leanr new chords and tricks are ok without the original audio.
Ok, all falsetas I learned from an other guitarrist in workshops, I didnt forget. And the stuff I tabed by myself from an audio, I dont forget, too. But many falsetas I learned from a tab, I forgot..but I think its not bad to read tabs.
Traditional guitarrists? Whats that? Ok guitarrists who are very creative often dont read tabs, coz they invent teir own stuff.

Nope, but I think it's always a plus to learn to read tabs and scores. Aren't you a classical guitarist anyway? If so it shouldn't be such a great problem for you.

I *was* a classical guitarist. My old guitar instructor would get a heart attack if he heard me play Classical or fumble through a score nowadays. I haven't kept up sadly. After a point I just let it slide and started learning from tabs and observation. But Doitsujin what I meant was that traditionally Flamenco is passed down by direct learning and not by any form of written music. Or so I am told.
